Both the old and the new path look valid to me. Even if you can always replace a relative path with an absolute from a YANG validity perspective, changing from relative to absolute paths often *changes the semantics*, so that is not generally safe. In this case, however, they do amount to the same thing (since they both end up going all the way up to the top level container).
